the baby's position can sometimes play a part in the measurements as well. I have never measured small so I don't have anything helpful with that. Don't worry- if your dr was worried they would send you to u/s and look into it further. babies all grow at different rates

At 23 weeks I measured 27 cm , had ultrosound and baby was in fact 4 weeks 2 days ahead growth wise. At 30 weeks I measured 29 cm, had an ultosound and measured 32 weeks. ( seems like im more on track) Each baby grows at his own rate and has growth spurts at different times. Don't stress... These are just average growth measurments.

Don't worry! It can be the position of the baby. The ultrasound is the only way to really "know" the size of the baby. Today I went in for spotting. I am 30 weeks and was only measuring 23! They did an ultrasound and the baby is measuring right on- he's just dropped down very low which is why my belly is measuring small. Doc said its pretty common

I'm 6' as well, and at 32 weeks I measured 34. The OB was surprised because she was talking about how small I am, and that I'm carrying the baby really far back. So measuring 2 weeks ahead was a surprise.

But baby's growth was spot on (to the day) on the u/s I'd had the day before, my fluid levels were perfect, etc.

They haven't been measuring my belly, at all.. I go for monthly ultrasounds though because of a family history of PKD so they've been measuring him and at 27 weeks he was 2lb.13oz. which meant he was measuring 30 weeks.... so now my next ultrasound is tuesday and i'll be 31 weeks... i'm sure he's still measuring chunky! l0l
